History:

This week we are going to take a break from Henry’s Great Matter and focus a little more on his wives. Over the next three weeks we are going to create a Tudor Fact Pack! We would like you to create a section for each of his six wives. Each section will include important dates and information as well as a beautiful portrait of each of his Queens. (We have seen your portraits and know you will do an amazing job!) We have included a template for you to consider but we would also love to see your own, creative ways of presenting this work!

MON Please make sure you are following the lessons that we have identified on the timetable for White Rose rather than those that automatically open on their website. White Rose Maths:

Summer Term Week 4, Lesson 1 – Multiplying and dividing problem solving Watch the video and complete the worksheet

Lesson 1 –Read, watch and learn

Read the websites and watch the videos on the following links: UNESCO -A look at Journeys to school around the world BBC Newsround –6 Epic Journeys to School TheirWorld–13 Unusual and Dangerous Journeys to School

Discuss what you have seen: •Can you imagine any of those being your journey to school? •Which would make you feel frightened? •Would you like any to be your journey to school?

Task 2:

Can you create your own Maths problem, like the ones on the worksheet you have been completing for someone else in your family to have a go at? How many different options will there be?

TUES White Rose Maths:

Summer Term Week 4, Lesson 2 – Perimeter of Rectangles Watch the video and complete the worksheet

Lesson 2 –Ask questions and form an opinion

Look back at the links from yesterday and choose one of the images or use one of the images below:

If you could ask one of the children in the image five questions, what would they be? Aim to find as much information as possible through good questions. What? How? When? Where? Why?

Form an opinion about what you have seen. These words might help: concerned, appalled, shocked, excited, envious, surprised For example: I am shocked that……….

Art: Illustrate your Fact Pact (above) with gorgeous portraits

of the different Queens - include as much detail as possible.

If you are feeling adventurous you could complete each portrait in a different media for example pencil, coloured pencil, felt tip, collage, pastel, wax crayons or paint.

Compare the results at the end and tell us which is the most effective. Remember to post your work on Seesaw.

Task 2: MyMaths Introducing perimeter

Use your knowledge gained in the White Rose lesson to help you answer the MyMaths questions, remember you can write things down if that helps you.

WED Mid-Week Maths Madness

Have a look at Maths Challenge Card 17 below. There is a challenge in the middle that you will need to solve. Now have a look at the challenges around the edge – how many of them can you answer? You will need to be resilient and might need to try more than once – we look forward to seeing your calculations when you’ve finished!

Lesson 3 – Explore vocabulary

Choose one of the images below and print if off if possible. Label your image using the word bank attached. You might want to use a thesaurus to find the best word choices. For example instead of ‘scary’ you could use ‘daunting’

Have a look at the example attached to help you.

Using the labels around your image, create some emotive sentences about the journey to school. Use the examples below and the sentence starter grid attached to help you. These sentences will help you in your writing challenge tomorrow.

Example:

Creative:

Can you make a kite? Try to use a range of recycled/old materials (don’t buy anything): Eg Polythene, newspaper, string straws and sticks make a kite. Have a go at flying it! Which school learning powers have you used to make it? Imagine yourself as the kite: How would you feel at the different stages of its journey from construction to flight? How do you feel if you are restricted by the string? Do you feel safer? How could you express these feelings?

THURS White Rose Maths:

Summer Term Week 4, Lesson 3 – Perimeter of rectilinear shapes Watch the video and complete the worksheet

Lesson 4 – Features and planning

Tomorrow, you will be creating a piece of persuasive writing. Persuasive writing is when you create an argument to convince someone to change their point of view or actions. To polish up your persuasive writing techniques go to: https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/class-clips-video/english-ks1-ks2-how-to-write-a-persuasive-text/zkcfbdm

Watch the video, then look at the persuasion cue card below so that you know what type of features you will need to include in your writing.

Now you need to create a plan to help you with your writing tomorrow. Look at the task in Friday’s box, decide which type of writing style you are going to present your argument as. Look at the work you did yesterday and map out a plan for your writing. Use the ‘Persuasion Book – Planning Techniques’ (separate file) to help you think about a way to structure your planning.

Science:

This term our science topic is to understand how plants reproduce. (They don’t all do it in the same way which is quite surprising!) To lead into this, your task this week is to go and find a Dandelion and dig it up (make sure you really dig down and get as much of the tap root out as possible there is a fair chance if it is a big plant it will be huge?) Carefully have a look and then draw it labelling all the different parts that you can see. *If you aren’t able to dig one up, can you research what its roots and structure would look like? Then complete the drawing with labels.

Task 2 - Challenge

Can you find the perimeter of a room in your house or your garden? You might need to use a tape measure if you have one. Write down the things that make this tricky and what you used to help you!

FRI White Rose Maths:

Summer Term Week 4, Lesson 4 – Area counting squares Watch the video and complete the worksheet

Lesson 5 –Writing

Using everything you have learnt this week, your writing challenge is to persuade the government to improve the safety of journeys to school. Use the image and country you wrote about in lessons 3. You can present your work in any form you like. You could write: •A letter

•A speech

•A leaflet

•Power point presentation

•Or a form of your own choice. Think about layout and being really persuasive. I have attached an example of a persuasive letter to help you understand the style of the writing you will be doing.

Music:

Please follow this link to Saint Saens Carnival of the animals. Have a listen to the music without looking at the screen. The task below can be completed as you listen to the music:

Create a mind map with the composer and title in the middle of the paper.

In one colour jot down the musical instruments you can hear?

In another colour jot down the animals you think you can hear?

Finally in one more colour can you use your French from a couple of weeks ago and write them next to the English.

Task 2

Have a go at this game building shapes with a given area. Work your way through the levels and see which level you can get up to – let us know your high score on SeeSaw!

Persuasion Purpose: to argue the case for a point of view and to convince the reader. Audience: someone who is interested in the subject, but who may have a different point of view.

Language

Present tense.

Emotive language to help give your point of view (Thousands of dolphins are cruelly trapped in fishing nets each year)

Connective phrases to add information (In addition, action needs to be taken because dolphins are in great danger.)

Causal connectives (this shows that, however, because) to give reasons for your point of view.

Use ‘dare to disagree’ expressions to get the reader on your side. (There is no doubt; the time had come to insist that all countries pass laws to protect them from harm.)

Generalisers to help persuade (probably, perhaps, often.

Rhetorical questions (How long can this go on?)

May include: repetition, alliteration, rhyme, word-play, boastful language, patterns of three, personal appeal (you), short sentences and testimonials/quotes.

Structure

An eye-catching title to say what you are writing about.

An opening that states the point of view to be argued.

Paragraphs starting with topic sentences. These should signal the argument to be made in that paragraph. (Dolphins play a vital role in the marine eco-system.)

Think about what your ‘opponents’ might argue and include counter arguments.

An ending that restates your point of view. (We have seen that… so…)

You could include bullet points, subheading and pictures if these help to make your points clearer or stronger.

Tips and Hints

Use good reasons and facts (including statistics) to persuade your reader.

Try to get the reader on your side – use humour and appear reasonable and friendly!

Make the reader think that everyone will agree with you or that it will make him/her a happier person (Everyone agrees that… We all know that…)

Draw the reader in (At long last, the xxx that you have all been waiting for).

Use alliteration to make slogans easier to remember (Buy British Beef). Reread it. Would you be persuaded?
